Registration Starts: Friday, December 1, 2017

Location:

Description:

This online training is for relatives raising relative children.

In the State of Michigan, over 28% of children under the age of 17 have experienced two or more adverse childhood experiences, well above the national average. Adverse childhood experiences include verbal, psychological, physical, or sexual abuse (witness or victim), among other somewhat complex traumatic events (ACES Study, 2011). These traumatic experiences can greatly affect how children view and cope with life. Complexly traumatized children often behave in ways that seem random, unpredictable, withdrawn and extreme, struggling with impulse control and being able to think through consequences (NCTSN, 2017). Research and practice are now opening our eyes to the significant relationship between behavior and Trauma exposure. In this workshop, you will learn about common similarities and differences between typical developmental behaviors and Trauma behavior, as well as, the interrelatedness of each. You will receive strategies for parenting children who are exhibiting big behavior due to trauma exposure. In addition, you will receive tips and resources for further education and tools available to families.

Not all injuries cause pain, and not all pain is due to injuries. An explosion of brain research demonstrates that all pain is constructed by the brain as a danger/alarm function. It is imperative to distinguish pain caused by structural disorders from pain caused by neural pathways in the brain. Appropriate treatment of pain is guided by this distinction with the goal of resolution of pain for individuals with neural pathway-induced pain.

211-19 | CW Webinar: Big Behavior & Trauma: Similarities, Differences, and Strategies for Working with Traumatized Youth

Course Date(s):

Thursday, June 6, 2019 at 12:00 PM - 1:15 PM

Registration Dates:

Early Registration Starts: Tuesday, December 11, 2018

Location:

Synchronous, interactive, online live webinar

Description:

In Michigan, over 28% of children under the age of 17 have experienced two or more adverse childhood experiences, well above the national average. Adverse childhood experiences include verbal, psychological, physical, or sexual abuse (witness or victim), among other somewhat complex traumatic events (ACES Study, 2011). These traumatic experiences can greatly affect how children view and cope with life. Complexly traumatized children often behave in ways that seem random, unpredictable, withdrawn and extreme, struggling with impulse control and being able to think through consequences (NCTSN, 2017). Research and practice are now opening our eyes to the significant relationship between behavior and trauma exposure. In this webinar, you will learn about common similarities and differences between typical developmental behaviors and trauma behavior as well as the interrelatedness of each. You will receive strategies for working with youth who are exhibiting big behavior due to trauma exposure. In addition, you will receive tips and resources for further education and tools available to families. This webinar will utilize visual displays, incorporate participant feedback, and allow time for questions and answers.

Recommended for LMSW beginning skill level.

Description:

DBT is a multi-modal treatment. Although skills training is a single mode, it is by far the most popular mode of DBT. Many programs begin implementing this mode in the beginning of learning how to develop their DBT program. Perfect for support staff, those working on the front lines, and for direct care clinicians, this training will primarily focus on the concepts and the foundation of the DBT skills while at the same time helping those clinicians experienced in DBT expand their knowledge in them. Participants can also expect to learn how to structure and format a skills training group, understand the roles and functions of facilitators, begin to teach the concepts of the DBT skills, identify and confront specific therapy-destroying behaviors found in group, lead meaningful mindfulness exercises, and assign specific homework assignments to help strengthen skill generalization.

Description:

The conceptual foundation of ethics represents an inherent and essential framework for
behavioral health, including clinical social work. While assuming all ethical standards and professional codes of ethics represent identical approaches to care, however, significant differences exist. In this workshop, emphasis will be given to examining personal values and ethical concepts, contrasting those personal beliefs to professional codes of ethics, and determining appropriate approaches to clientele. In addition, given the demands within behavioral health, boundary crossings as well as boundary violations receive prominent focus and attention. While some presentations in ethics exhibit a dry, boring, and sterile coverage of standards and professional codes, this workshop will actively engage participants, prioritizing current issues in the field through use of controversial topics and issues. Participants should come prepared for a thought-provoking, emotionally challenging, actively engaged day via a multi-media, multi-sensory format, teaching to all styles of learning. Case study material will be utilized, with video clips presented from various health care disciplines, and didactic material that addresses both the conceptual and practical levels.

The consequences of unresolved grief and traumatic losses contribute to depression, anxiety, and a host of other mental health difficulties. For you, having effective tools to help clients face and work through these difficulties is essential. In addition, you must address your own loss and grief history in order to keep from projecting it onto clients. It is helpful to develop an arsenal of tools to guide us from a paradigm of fear and/or denial, to shifting toward one of compassion and forgiveness. You will learn concepts and techniques to help with unresolved grief and traumatic losses. This workshop is practical and experiential, working in both large and small group formats. You will learn about the notion of a storytelling triad (storyteller, guide, witness), and the use of these roles in exploring unresolved grief and trauma. As you work in small groups of three, you will learn how each of those roles can give a unique perspective on healing our losses and wounds. Throughout the workshop, you will participate in exercises that address developmental, psychological, creative, and spiritual aspects of love, loss, and forgiveness.

Description:

This workshop is designed to be a day of self-discovery as well as an introduction to the evidence-based Internal Family Systems (IFS) Model created by Richard Schwartz. This model is intended to revitalize both internal healing as well as work with clients. IFS is based on the principle that we all have different sub-personalities or parts that have positive intent but when out of balance can create havoc. The “self” is our true and spiritual center. According to IFS, qualities of the “self” include compassion, curiosity, connection, calm, courage, clarity, caring, and creativity. As clinicians, the tool we bring to our work is our selves. In order to be an effective tool, it requires a willingness to look inward. You will learn and practice skills that support a non-pathologizing and empowering method in service of the helper as well as client. You will integrate principles and concrete strategies related to shame resilience, mindfulness, and self-compassion in support of inviting “self” to be the leader. Be prepared to participate in small and large group discussions, activities, and strategy building that will help you learn tools you can use in practice.

Description:

In a 2013 published study, 93% of counselors were receiving inadequate supervision, and 35% were receiving harmful supervision. Many organizations are challenged to provide supervision due to multiple facilities, supervisors performing both clinical and administrative duties, with some supervisors even carrying a partial client caseload. Yet, insuring clinician competency, guarding against liability issues, adhering to evidence-based practices, and retention of counseling staff all require consistent, competent, and conceptually sound supervision. With behavioral health programs experiencing staff shortages, supervision represents an investment returning multiple dividends.

Health professionals often work with patients who present with chronic health symptoms that appear to have no direct explanation, including pain, anxiety, depression, fatigue, and insomnia. In this workshop, you will learn about the individual differences between clients who are experiencing pain and how trauma and unresolved emotional experiences often contribute to these conditions. You will learn about the current research related to clients with chronic pain who do not have a nociceptive component to their pain, but rather pain that is generated by neural pathways in the brain. You will learn about the neurological basis for this view and strategies for working with such clients. In addition, you will learn about the overall impact of trauma on the brain and how it contributes to chronic pain. This workshop will incorporate small and large group interactive activities and discussions.
